You Get One Bass. What Is It?

[fingerguy]

Well I now have one bass, well one fully electric bass: Fender American Precision Elite.

Seriously. When I started I had one axe, and looked forward to playing to the exclusion of anything else. Now I work, raise kids, work on the house, etc... and since I don't play like I used to I've taken to making music my hobby... I play, just not enough, or what I want to.

So I'm trying to get back to my happy place, and have got the feeling that I'm not the only one...

So, what would you pick?

I find myself asking this question from time to time Count, and have had numerous basses in the past.
My first real love was a '71 precision when i was 16 or somewhere around that age.
I haven't gigged since 2007, and being back in NYC since, i haven't seemed to find the right people and music, so practicing after work is sort of my happy place right now.

The one bass i have yet to own is a Thunderbird.

Although i am happy with my current two basses, i'd like to add something different into the mix.
But i honestly couldn't narrow something down to one as of now, if i had to.

So i guess at the moment, this would be it.

If I really could pick just one bass, I'd go back to squier vintage modified jazz bass, it was my first "serious" instrument and it reminds me of good times sometimes I wish I hadn't exchanged it

There's certainly something to be said for nostalgia. I love my current basses, but sometimes wish I had stoped at a decent bass much earlier in my life. Would have saved a lot of money, but I also wouldn't have gotten to try all the basses I did.

My Roscoes are great, but my G&L Tribute JB-2 is a great bass that could handle my gigs (minus a few low D's) just fine and cost a fraction of even one of my Roscoes. Input flats on it and use it for "acoustic" settings and jazz gigs. Roscoes foto chcurch and cover gigs. At least all 3 get played.

I'd go for an ACG 6 string

There is the blocked inlay one that you see mostly, this one is a little more rare.
